Bug Description
I was testing Ubuntu Gnome 15.04 in VirtualBox. I was able to login into the machine a few times and run updates and install a few programs. I also installed the VirtualBox guest additions. Since today this happens:
I log into the machine. The login is accepted and the machine does something for a few seconds. Then the machine jumps back to login, but with a random flickering. The flickering also resets the password field, which prevents it from being typed.
So I can't login into the machine anymore.
I am using a HP Probook 6570 b which I upgraded to 16 GB of RAM. The iso was from the 20th of January, but I did a daily sudo apt-get upgrade on it.
